Adding the Purchase Order feature in the Mac App is a creative idea. I can see it having a lot of use. I encourage you submit this idea to our Product Development Team for consideration in a future update. Just click the Gear icon in the top right hand corner and select Feedback.

Alternatively, can log into your account using the browser and create a purchase order from there.

If you're trying to enable the feature, I have an article that will guide through the steps: Purchase

If there's anything else I can help you find in QuickBooks, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'm here anytime to help.

Hello sanjay1, JasonV.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about creating a purchase order through the app. I want to share what I know about the QuickBooks Online app.

Since you can only create a purchase order through the web browser and Desktop app, I encourage you to send feedback. Our product development team perform updates depending on what works best for your business.

You can send your feedback by selecting the Gear icon in the upper-right corner and clicking the Feedback option. You can also visit the article below for more information about the list of available features for the mobile app:

I'll help you pass along your feedback to our developers. You can visit the Customer Feedback for QuickBooks Onlinewebsite to post your request. I'll do the same on my end for the request to get more votes.

And of course, I’m here to help you if you have other concerns. Don't hesitate to add a comment below.

Any update to adding purchase orders to the online app? Honestly that this wasn’t thought of is a huge oversight on quickbooks part. And please don’t reply saying I can do it on the desktop app or web browser. I already know how to do it that way. I wouldn’t be asking about a mobile app purchase order option if I wasn’t needing to make purchase orders easily on the go. I just had to make one on my phone and it took me 30 minutes vs less than 3 on my computer.

I appreciate you taking time sharing your thoughts about adding a purchase order in QuickBooks mobile apps. I'm here to help get this taken care of.

This is the feature that is being worked on by our Product Developers at this time. While we don't have an exact time frame yet, rest assured that I'm making it my top priority that your suggestion reaches them.

In the meantime, you can continue creating a purchase order using your desktop app or the web browser as a workaround.

Thanks for your understanding and patience. Please post again should you have any other concerns or questions. I'm always here to answer them. Take care and have a great rest of the day.

Any update on when this feature will be enabled? I’ve tried using via safari on my phone to raise a PO and it is simply too hard to operate on the phone, so I’m left to give suppliers false PO numbers, then having to fix when I return to my office. This missing feature causes me much frustration. Surely this is not a big cost for your development team to add. (It’s becoming a big cost to me....)

Re: Adding a purchase order in mobile app feature will greatl...

I know how important this feature is for business owners that are always on the go like you, Noifsnobutts.

For now, we can only create purchase orders through the QBO desktop app and browsers (mobile and desktop). My colleagues have already submitted requests for it to be added to the mobile app. We'll let you know once the feature is rolled out.
